Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze and describe the characteristics of reading environment for the teens and their reading behavior in the U.S.A. Some researches and statistics on the reading behavior of young students in the U.S.A., the U.K. and Ireland were examined, and the reading environments for the teens in society and at schools and home were described. The development of school media centers since the 1950s and services for young adults in public libraries in the U.S.A. confirms that government, school, society and home should altogether cooperate in order to help students read more and build better reading environment for the teens.

이 연구의 목적은 미국 청소년의 독서행태 및 학교 안팎의 독서환경의 특성에 대하여 분석 및 기술하는 것이다. 먼저 미국, 영국 및 아일랜드 청소년의 독서행태에 관한 주요한 연구 및 각종 통계보고서들을 검토하고, 가정의 독서환경, 학교도서관을 중심으로 한 학교 독서환경 및 공공도서관을 중심으로 한 사회적 독서환경을 기술하였다. 1950년대 이후 학교도서관의 비약적 확산과 공공도서관 청소년서비스의 발전을 가져온 미국의 사례는 점점 감소하는 청소년 독서율의 제고 및 독서환경의 조성에 국가, 학교, 사회, 가정이 협력해야 함을 보여준다.
